2015 target Deyonta Davis committed Michigan State. What's awesome is Stony Brook was in his top 5

Good news we are drawing high profile athletes in all sports. Too bad he is going to Mich State. But hey maybe we get the next one for basketball or football or some other sport. Get few here and there and we get noticed even more . Still think our best times are still ahead of us !

I do agree that our recruits are getting better. I'm sure, however, that Davis's inclusion of SBU in his top 5 was largely influenced by his high school teammate--DeShaun Thrower. Can't wait to see that kid in a Seawolves uniform!! I saw a recent writeup on him that said that he has amazing shooting range and is devastating on defense!!
-
A little mouse told me that Coach Pikiell was in Europe with every intention of inking a 7 footer. Interesting indeed.

How sweet would that be!!!!!!

SaltySeawolf: You've now mentioned Ivan Rabb and a 7 footer.... cite your sources please!!
-
A true 7 footer would be a huge get for us if he can shoot and defend. Go get em coach!

To be on campus in September or for the 2015-2016 school year?
-
OK - the Rabb post on the AE boards was purely trolling. The seven footer I do not have good specifics about (Eastern European maybe) but was told Coach had every intention of getting him here right now. We do have a scholarship to replace Walker if we need it correct? Let me do some digging and get some better info for you. Coach made the trip overseas - I do not know the result.
-
Hope this is true! Would put Jameel back to the PF where he should be
-
More importantly, hope that he is not a dud. A lot of 6'8" guys can play center more effectively than a lot of 7 footers can, especially at the low-major level. There was a 6'11" center during SBU's D-III days in the 70s, and he was an average center at best.
-
Any chance we can put a name to this mystery prospect?
-
Too bad LeBron turned us down -LOL
-
The 7 footer didn't pan out. While he was Finisher he was not good enough. Confident we will be bringing in one more player (probably European) before school starts. (Like my play on words there?)

It seems to me that time is extremely short now to add someone new to the roster for this year. Am I wrong about that? It would be a shame to upset the chemistry of a team whose members have apparently bonded with each other over the summer and, I think, have already started to work out together. A rush to add a lesser player from those remaining at this stage just because he's a true "big", I think would be a serious mistake. I'd like to see how the new guys perform and give this team a shot to mature.
Instead, I'd like to see a full court press on getting a really good big man for next year, who can grow with the team. I've been checking out the write-ups on the '15 PF/C candidates, and found the following to be particularly interesting. If any of you, who are closer to the program than I am, agree; perhaps you could call attention to them to one of Coach P's staff. I picked them (although info is severely limited) because they are not currently overwhelmed with offers, seem to be highly talented with good upside potential, are in areas where SBU has recruited before and seem to be in situations indicating solid academic standing.
I'd be interested in some feedback.

I agree Gold. Bring in a new guy in November through a NLOI and start him fresh next summer. We are not hurting for bigs at the moment. Don't redshirt next season but give him some minutes since Warney and King will be seniors and let him gain some experience. Then in 2016 let him play . A good 6'10 plus kid around 250 world work.

That's sick. What are we in the NBA????
-
Here's some hot news!! Looks like both Scott King and Chris Braley will be transferring, opening up two potentially immediately impactful schollys for 2015-2016 to fill in a big hurry. If Coach P. and his staff play their card right, this could turn out to be a huge boost for the Seawolves!! I hate to see the guys go, but what an opportunity this could be.
-
Scott King and Chris braley transferring out of SB.. Why is that you ask?? I'll tell you why! Coach P hardly ever played King... I was stomping my feet all season screaming at coach P for not starting or using King more often..I'm surprised Warney and Tre didn't leave the program too.... Braley is no lost to the program.. I am angry again!!!!!It will open up 2 scholarships or transfers for next season. I'm not sure who's left this late in the season for scholarships though. !!!!!
-
There are a bunch of JUCO showcases around the country this time of year. Maybe one of them and/or an international player. Can understand Braley wanting to leave to get PT.
-
Here's an idea!! Wouldn't it be great if Tyler Harris could play his last year of eligibility at SBU--in front of his hometown fans and family? The Seawolves and Tyler could be a match made in heaven. He was a big star at HHH West high school a few years back, and averaged in double figures against really tough competition at Providence. His situation is the mirror image of Scott King's, as he would have immediate playing eligibility as a grad student at SBU. His older brother Harris plays in the NBA. He would fill a much needed additional scoring threat inside, and open things up more for Warney and McGrew. He's not a big rebounder, but could certainly fill a need at SF/Wing, where Nyama has not yet seemed to achieve consistency. Somebody should whisper in Coach P's ear about this, don't you think?

Just sent Harris a Tweet on Twitter asking him to consider SB and to contact coach P..... Maybe he will respond
-
is it odd that king would transfer so late in the career?
-

If he weren't graduating, I would agree. But, I could certainly understand, given his limited playing time, immediate eligibility to play somewhere else and potentially wanting to pursue his graduate work at a different university from where he completed his BA, why he would make a move. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he turned up at UNH or somewhere else in New England to be closer to home.

Looks like it's not in the cards. Hope Coach P. will come up with one or two good ones.
-
Am I the only one disturbed by the fact that although the Seawolves have two open schollys and a clear need for improved and consistent shooting, that there have apparently been no offers put forward for any of the available transfers or JUCO players out there? I've seen press re: some pretty good ones, but many (even those with immediate eligibility to play) seem to be being gobbled up by other schools. Anybody have a clue as to what the scoop is, or how much of a "full court press" Coach P. and his staff are putting forward on the hunt?

That question is being asked today to coach P and I'll give you a report later!!!!

It's my understanding Coach P is traveling to London to look at a prospect and then next stop Virginia. I have no idea if these prospects are JUCO or Transfers, but I hope he brings in a starter and not a "work in progress". We have too many of those sitting on the bench already!!

Coach P. better get going with some recruiting for this coming season. Word is that Ryan Burnett is also transferring, thereby leaving 3 immediate scholarship slots open!! This could be a golden opportunity if any really good recruits can be seduced!!

I read that on The basketball Forum too. WOW.. This could either make or brake Coach P future. Bring in 3 Transfers ready to go, we go to the NCAA next season. Bring in 3 more work in progress, he's in trouble, My opinion of course!!!

-
While it would be nice (and somewhat of a surprise), I don't think it's absolutely necessary for Coach P to bring in an "impact" recruit in order for SBU (1) win the AE regular season and (2) finally win the conference championship.
I think Woodhouse will provide more stability at the point, and that Kam Mitchell will be a pleasant surprise this season, as in double digit PPG and 40%+ shooting from three.
-
Agreed. I actually think this is a great opportunity to bring in transfers that have to sit next year. Also wouldn't mind a couple freshman to balance out the classes.

absolutely necessary, no!. But he should bring in an another Jameel Warney, if he could, hell yea!! We need a deeper bench Next season.
-
It'd be great to see a Jameel Warney or Tommy Brenton level recruit added to the roster. Hopefully Coach P will pull it off. Realistically, to quote an earlier post, we'll see a few new "works in progress". However, I do believe Woodhouse will be the impact player we're all looking for and that some of the current "works in progress" will continue to develop. (I should add that every year I'm convinced that the Jets will win the AFC East.)

Judging from the lack of news, I'm guessing that Coach P's travels to London and Virginia didn't pan out as hoped. Any hints as to a Plan B for attracting some court help before the season?

I see Campbell missed his entire senior year due to injuries..
-
I'm not saying that this kid (Campbell) isn't good. He certainly is well touted in some of the press I've seen (couldn't find any video). However, he sounds like the definition of a "project", after missing his entire senior year due to injury and weighing only 205 lbs. at 6'11" (big time weight room candidate). So, I can't imagine that he would log any minutes this coming season. I also notice that, at least from what I can tell, he didn't get an offer from SBU (only interest).
The candidate from Ohio I would hope the Seawolves are able to get is '16 PF/C Darius Harper. The offer has been in for some time, and they may have a reasonable shot. I think he could really be a good one!!
So, that said, I'm left with my original question: What is Plan B for immediate impact scholarships for the coming season?

I think the immediate impact player for next year is Woodhouse. I know I tend to be a bit too optimistic, I really like next year team as is. I'd like the focus needs to be on replacing Warney, Puriefoy, and McGrew in 16-17
-
Woodhouse will be a nice addition but we need depth. If we have three scholarships I would look for two of them filled with impact players and then a work in progress. One or two injuries would really hurt next year if we don't have a good depth . Its a long season and anything can happen so give me two really good players that can start if needed and then a project for the future. Also our rookies from this year need to improve and become consistent every game.
-
Unfortunately Coach P has not been able to bring in many recruits that have provided much of an impact their first year. This year, it will be even harder as the three spots did not open up until after the season ended.
I think it's reasonable to expect improvement from Thrower, McGrew, Nyama and Mitchell. If Warney can improve his mid-range game (and free throws), as good as he is he may end up being the most improved player on the team.

Whaddya think--should the Seawolves make a run at this guy? Seems like there may be some untapped potential there, and if he truly is a "sharpshooter" as the article intimates, he could be an excellent boost to the now reduced cadre of guards.

Normally I would agree, Hammer, but the article states "...Stewart is now going to look for a lower level school that can offer him a scholarship and more playing time". I thought that might signify an outside chance. And, since at the current time he is located practically around the corner (i.e. in Queens), it seems worth a shot to take a look-see and have a chat, don't you think?
-
He was a walk on at St. John's, so I would like our chances, but I think we could get someone with a little more pedigree. Also, in the transfer game, I'd rather a guy like Woodhouse who produced at a midmajor, than a guy like Stewart who hardly played in a major conference.

It's all up to our coaching staff now. If they have no interest in Stewart no sense talking about it. But this coaching staff rarely ever talk about pending scholarships and transfers beforehand!! So we're always left in the dark!!!!
-
The coaching staff rarely ever talks about pending scholarships and transfers beforehand because they're not allowed to.

It's all over Twitter now. Walker will be back At SB.. our bench all of a sudden has gotten deep. We also have 2 more scholarships slots to fill. Hopefully Pikiell brings in BIG!!!!!!

!?!WHAT!?!?!
I only wonder if he didn't leave if we would've been one stinking point better than Albany in the title game.
...maybe he just wanted to play in IFCU as he was promised!!!

-
Damn this is great news. I doubt we'll ever find out what caused Ahmad to leave but it couldn't have been too bad if he's being brought back.
He really was an electric player- he played great defense and really could run the court with the best of them. With Woodhouse and Ahmad coming this year, this team could really be electric.
-
Confirmed by Greg Logan on Twitter
Can confirm Ahmad Walker, who left @StonyBrookMBB after frosh year to attend Barton CC JUCO in Kansas, is returning to #Seawolves.
-
Well that's definitely an impact recruit everyone was looking for.
-
ha, yes it is.
pikiell is in the odd situation of having to convince a recruit twice. or maybe on the second time, he didn't have to!
the nice thing is that he is not an unknown quantity nor a work in progress. no waiting to see if he is a bust. he's an impact player. in fact he might even be improved.
this really changes the look of the lineup. where does he fit in? im assuming he stays in that sort-of-3 slot that he plays? he's a little short to play power forward, but has that style of play and could be a valuable swingman.
early prediction is warney and mcgrew in the post, tre and woodhouse/thrower up top, maybe walker/nyama in the mix?
-
The only down side i remember of Walker was sometimes his wildness on the floor and his free throws were only 57%. The craziness at times is something that can be fixed fairly easily, but improving at the foul line takes a lot more practise.. All in all, this is a plus for SBB come next season!!!!!
-
Walker shot over 40% from the field as a freshmen, and has probably gotten better. I'd have to agree with the consensus and say this is a big addition.
My two cents for the starting lineup next year- Warney, McGrew, Nyama, Mitchell and Woodhouse (personally I like Tres off the bench- though Coach P will likely start his senior and captain), with Tres and Walker providing meaningful minutes. Add in Thrower and Sekunda (Petrus?) and you're looking at a pretty deep team that could beat you from the inside and also run teams from the AE off the court.
-
Hammer - Walker didn't leave the team, but was actually kicked off the team for failing at least two drugs tests for pot.

Lax, smoking weed is a violation in the Penal code. Being thrown off the team for that is petty. . I rather see that than steroids! !. I don't condemn the boy for that!!

I heard Ogunyemi to Stony Brook but that was before his visit. Hopefully coach and staff made a good impressio.

Would love to bring in Ogunyemi. Have him work with Warney while he redshirts next year, and give us a proven commodity the following year after Warney graduates.
Hope it happens.

[/quote] Thanks Gold for the find.. Well, Looks like he can shoot the 3 ball.. I also like how feisty he is under the rim. He has some really nice moves and looks pretty good on D.. I wonder if Coach P is going to Redshirt him or is he an impact player. Probably will be redshirted because of Walker coming back to play!!

That basketball looks ridiculous
-
Yeboah reminds me of Kam Mitchell, a 6'5" guard with a nice outside shot but only so-so ball handling ability. If he can knock down the three, I say bring him in next year. If I were Coach P I'd go all in to try to win the AE tourney while I still had Warney.

ICYMI Chris Braley to St. Anselm.

Akwasi Yeboah was ranked the 5 best under 19 prospect in the UK last year. The four kids in front of him were all born either a year or two years before Akwasi.
Also we was playing in the same league as Danny Carter this year, and actually elminated Danny's Reading Rockets from the playoffs in the semi finals.

Just an update that it looks like we've offered Campbell. I agree that he sounds like a project, but presumably he's worked out for our coaches though and they have liked what they have seen.
I wonder if this offer means we're out of the running for ogunyemi? The only placed I've seen us mentioned with Ogunyemi was on the st. bonaventure message board. Maybe we were never really involved.

He must have been talking about Alonzo Campbell out of the Columbus, OH area. They seem to be high on him, and have offered.

Just an update that it looks like we've offered Campbell. I agree that he sounds like a project, but presumably he's worked out for our coaches though and they have liked what they have seen.
I wonder if this offer means we're out of the running for ogunyemi? The only placed I've seen us mentioned with Ogunyemi was on the st. bonaventure message board. Maybe we were never really involved.

Looks like Ogunyemi is transferring to BU.

The latest info I saw is that Campbell has narrowed his choices to either Kennesaw St. or Stony Brook. I say that's no contest!! If the kid is as smart as we hope he's talented, SBU is the clear choice, don't ya think?
Note: Since an issue was raised about this in the '16 Recruiting link, I posted this info there as well.

Looks like former Boston College coach Al Skinner is now at Kennesaw State. Still I like our chances. Hopefully our coaches can get this done

Campbell committed to Stony Brook!

I would think both Yeboah and Campbell redshirt next year, allowing you to have 11 players who should see time based on situation, with you being 2 deep at every position. Having a European trip and the 10 practices allowed plus the games is perfect for you so that Woodhouse and Walker get some game action in.

Agree 100% Quick.
I'm very excited for this upcoming season. I think this team is going to make some serious noise.

I agree, very interested in seeing the non-conference schedule. This team should be very experienced and therefore competitive with most teams. Also like to see them use their depth to push pace at both ends of the floor. I expect surprising (to some) improvement with Petras with a year in system/training/skill work giving them ability to play big at times vs large opponents. Also a lot of 4 out 1 in surrounding Warney with shooters/slashers. Your best team on paper for sure.

This could be a great team coming up always hopeful that we can get over the March Hump in AE. Only non conference games I know we have are home against Hofstra and Princeton other that I hope we post a good OOC schedule. .

I agree. Campbell is the big Center I have been talking about for some time. We just dont know yet if he is an impact player or project. Having two, 6' 11" Centers on a team is nice, but I really hope Petrus comes around and is improving.
As far as our OOC schedule, I hope coach P puts us against the top teams in the league like he did last season.I think that really gave this team the confidence boost going forward , and hey, you never know but we could quite possibly pull off another win against an AP team!...And It's nice to have a low RPI and BPI going into the playoffs!

ICYMI: Looks like Ryan Burnett, who supposedly was transferring to South Carolina-Aiken, is now transferring to Saint Leo instead.
